citrus leaves suddenly yellowing!
Comments (1)Hair, have you done anything different than you've been doing? Too much or too little water? Different soil? Change in fertilizer? Another thing to check for are pests. This is the time of year they seem to attack plants. Dry air, etc. I understand you're using lights, but are they getting natural sunlight, too? If so, have the days been dreary there? It sure has been here. What do the yellow leaves look like? Are they mottled yellow, pale yellow? Toni...See MoreMeyer Lemon Leaves Yellowing from Inside Out
Comments (5)Thank you for your advice! I gave it a dose of liquid fertilizer (generic Miracle-Gro 24-8-16), yesterday, and I came in today and for the first time in ~2 weeks it hadn't dropped leaves, hopefully it keeps up. I'm ordering some additional citrus specific ferts as well as I know the miracle grow is not the right balance and I doubt it has micronutrients Citrus needs. The tree receives indirect light from the window, almost all of its light comes from the LED grow lamp and the office fluorescents. The heating vents are right above the windows, so I keep it 5-10 feet away from all the windows. I checked it with my light meter and it's ~500 (I think it's in lumens) where the yellowed leaves are, full sun in summer by the windows is ~1500, and in winter (right now in Michigan) it's around 350 by the windows. I'll move over another lamp and see if it helps....See MoreWhy do my Hoya runners suddenly turn yellow and die?
Comments (4)Thanks for your reply. I've even clipped the vines into an upwards position onto the hanging tripod stems and they still yellow and die back. When the vines get too long and unmanagable, I wrap the vines around the outside of the plant and secure them with plastic hair claw pinchers (the Dollar Store) that are loose and not tight in an untaught upward position. I've tried increasing misting, decreasing misting, changed to dif types of foliar feeding including fish emulsion. At this point I'm just not going to dwell on it and accept it as a quirk of the indiv plant. Otherwise, I'll make myself crazier. Thanks again for your reply.

Comments (7)It has long ago been proven putting rocks in the bottom of a container is a bad idea. Doing so raises the perched water table higher into the container and the tree's root system As to your soil test results, the nitrogen should be high, the phosphorous should test rather low and the potassium should be high. Below I have posted a link showing citrus with a potassium deficiency. https://www.google.com/search?q=potassium+deficiency+citrus&rlz=1C1OKWM_enUS900US900&oq=potassium+deficiency+in+citrus+leaves&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0.27068j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-B AND https://www.yara.us/crop-nutrition/citrus/nutrient-deficiencies/potassium-deficiency-on-mandarin-citrus/...See MoreValalvax
